The Barbenheimer hype has taken the world by storm, and Singapore is not spared from the trend.
The Singapore Police Force (SPF) recently released a TikTok featuring “police Barbie” in a fun and uplifting video.

In the short clip, “police Barbie” is, in fact, a female police officer from the SPF. Later in the video, even police Ken makes a short cameo.
Many who viewed the clip were impressed by the stunt, and rightfully so — from the well-shot scenes to the spotless acting.
The TikTok clip opens with a scene similar to the original movie.
Clad in navy socks and long pants, police Barbie takes dainty steps on her tiptoes.
Instead of stepping into heels though, she puts on a pair of sturdy black boots.

The scene then cuts to police Barbie fixing the different elements of her outfit — starting from her cap, her belt and then, her radio.

After doing a last check in the mirror, she breaks the fourth wall by sharing a cheeky wink at the camera.

Police Barbie then “speaks” her only line in the video, saying the iconic “Hi Ken” to a male officer.
In his short cameo, Ken attempts a wink at police Barbie.
The closing message, in a bright pink font, states:
She’s a police officer and she safeguards Singapore every day!
As of the time of writing, the video has been viewed over 170,000 times and garnered over 230 comments.
The video mostly had positive reactions, with one TikTok user praising the SPF for their creativity.

Meanwhile, another commenter stated that they would watch “a season” of this Barbie show any day.

More than one user also jokingly noted that the male police officer looked like the actor Simu Liu, who actually stars in the ‘Barbie’ movie.
We’ll let you be the judge of that.

Many — young, old, men and women — have praised the ‘Barbie’ movie for its empowering messages and entertainment quality.
The SPF have similarly hopped on the wholesome trend — albeit in a shorter version.
Kudos to the SPF for pushing forth a positive message with their content.
Hopefully, it will inspire more women to follow their dreams in law enforcement.
